On 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧: “Whatever the intentions of the people who started this, it’s not a campaign that should worry anybody else,” said former Labour Minister @JYDenham. "If you fly a 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 or 🇬🇧, for someone like me, that's my flag and I'll interpret it how I want." https://t.co/aJZbpJegJu

Entirely agree. Refusal to introduce ID cards baffling. Britain in a deep sense is ungoverned.

5/ Multiculturalism has used acknowledgement, recognition and symbolic inclusion to bring ethnic and faith minorities into a shared public sphere: and white working class voters should be afforded the same respect

4/ While not homogenous, a recognisable and predominantly white fraction of society characterised by education, employment, geography, values, ideas of nationhood and (relative lack of) racialised experience clearly exists and can be politically mobilised

3/ The idea of a hegemonic white majority no longer reflects a more complex reality; it does not help when some argue the white working class does not exist or should not be acknowledged
